Junk yard motor woes
Have gotten my 1.8 swap running recently after ignition problems. The 1.8 was purchased from a local salvage yard over a year ago and things came up and kept me from finishing it anyways now that is running it will smoke at idle. It has a t3/t4 turbo with some shaft play put a restrictor on it yesterday .065. Still smoking at idle. Checked compression 180,170,170,178. Performed a leak down cylinders 1,3,and 4 were 6%. Cylinder 2 was 11% and could here the oil bubbling in oil pan through the dipstick. Guess I am going to end up having to bite the bullet and buy another motor or build this one. I already have rods from my old 1.6. Also today was making some screaching noise not sure if it was the turbo or the motor. Any ideas welcome.
